“Tips for a Cause” to raise funds for the Nolan Desmond Family by Lorraine Glowczak

The
waitstaff and owners of Rustler’s Steakhouse are teaming up to raise funds for
the Nolan Desmond Family who are facing significant medical challenges. The
“Tips for a Cause” fundraising event will occur this Sunday, October 29 from 11
a.m. to 4 p.m. at the restaurant located at 754 Roosevelt Trail.

Eighteen-month-old
Nolan Desmond was diagnosed with Bilateral Retinoblastoma approximately a year
ago. Bilateral Retinoblastoma is type of cancer that forms tumors on the retina
of the eye, in Nolan’s case at that time, both eyes.

According
to a previous article written in the October 7, 2016 edition of The Windham
Eagle, Nolan received chemotherapy along with laser treatments on newly formed
tumors and the treatments shrunk the tumors to half their original size.

Nolan
is currently seeking medical treatment again and Rustler’s Steakhouse wishes to
assist the Desmond family with medical expenses.

“All
tips will be donated to the Nolan Desmond Family,” stated Hayley Moon, owner of
Rustler’s. “And the owners will match the total amount.”
